I am hurt as much by regional restrictions as the next guy, but remember, books were always cheaper in the US. Only with pbooks you paid more for shipping and handling than the price difference was. And a big part of the price difference is VAT. It is time for Europeans to petition your governments for a VAT free internet zone, like in the US.
